On an unspecified date in 2012, a 5 year old, 80 pound, male, Australian Shepherd canine, in unknown condition, with concomitant medical conditions of Multi-Drug Resistance 1, was administered 1 tube of K9 Advantix II (unspecified) (Imidacloprid-Permethrin-Pyriproxyfen) topically by the owner. Approximately 1 month post application in 2012 the dog developed a seizure and the dog recovered. It is unknown if any treatment was preformed. On an unspecified date in 2015 the dog passed away. It is unknown if a necropsy was preformed. No further information is expected. This case is closed.

18. Severity classification (if there is more than 1 possible classification

Death

19. Provide supplemental information here

N - Unlikely It is known that, at recommended dosage, none of active ingredients in the product have the potential to provoke seizure in dogs neither alone nor in combination. Only mild neurological signs, e.g. tremors or ataxia, may occur even after oral uptake. Time to onset is long (30 days and more). Other causes are more probable. Further reported death is not expected in dog after product application, as inconsistent with pharmaco-toxicological product profile. Very long time to onset for reported death (3 years). The intent of the call was not to report this event, but to inquire on product details and not to report the death of the patient. No signs of allergy/anaphylactic reaction reported. Considering all aspects, product connection deemed to be unlikely.
